Weltraum
Read full descriptionHide full description
Weltraum โ a minimalist space arcade about timing, orbits and a steady thumb. You are a small planet with moons in orbit. Swipe left or right to launch a moon. Space is round: whatever leaves one side of the screen comes back from the other. Lines at the edge show where it will return โ swipe up or down to meet it and catch it. Every catch scores. Miss one and the moon turns hot: hot moons can't be caught, only dodged, and each one that hits you costs a life. Three lives, one thumb, one more round. SINGLE PLAYER - Chase your record: points, catches and time after every round - Every move is a swipe โ left, right, up, down - Short rounds for the train, the couch or a coffee break VERSUS - Face to face via Bluetooth: your moons leave your screen and land on your rival's - Online matches with Game Center - Catch their moons, or they burn you - Win stars โ every 10 stars adds another moon to your orbit MAKE IT YOURS - Pick the colour of your planet and of your moons - Your name and your stars show up in your rivals' lobby LOOK AND FEEL - Deep space, soft glow and pixel planets - Comet trails behind every moon, haptic feedback on every hit - A short guided tour explains everything on first launch 10 LANGUAGES English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese.

You play 'Steve' an older guy who is not as fit as he once was.... your missus has been kidnapped by the 'Bage Beast' and you must rescue her... Classic old skool arcade platform action ... but remember, don't be too energetic or you'll get 'knackered' and have to rest to get your breath back..... Classic arcade fun from yester year....

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BarrelBage at none against Weltraum's 1. Weltraum's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
